Babylab Languages and Music

Art-Science-Parenting Project

 

Funded by IDEX UGA Scientific and Cultural Outreach, in the wake of a previous project launched in 2017 and entitled “The Languages of Babylab”, Languages and Music of Babylab articulated scientific research and artistic creation to resonate the research of artists and scientists from Grenoble working on the development of language and communication in infants. Scientifically, he proposed evaluating the impact of musical interventions on infant language development. On an artistic level, the artists engaged in creative research nourished by interactions with babies. Finally, in terms of parenting, families participated in discussions with artists and scientists to discuss and understand the links between music, language and awareness. Thanks to the mediation of the Mediarts association, the project made it possible to establish links between artists and researchers and to forge long-term partnerships with early childhood stakeholders.
